Methodology
EqPac bottle quality review summary from DMO
DMO cautionary note:
The DMO suspects a misalignment of either bottle numbers or the
corresponding depths/pressures for events 02031635, 02040845 and
02150770. A shift of either bottle number or depth up or down by one
sampling interval will align the data correctly. However, we at the DMO
are not in the position to make these corrections.
Event number 02101209 bottle numbers and corresponding depths are
questionable, but the correct solution is not easily identified.
The entire cast is in question.
These correlations are based on the event/bottle number/depths reported
by Murray in his final bottle cast file.
